We divide 172578 by 88
We want to figure out the number of times 172578 can be divided by 88.

Step 1:
1 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 88

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 172 / 88

Step 3:
88 can be fit into 172 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 88 from 172 to get 84.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 84 and repeat the process: 845 / 88

Going ahead to step 4:
845 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 53.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 792 away from 845, we end up with 53.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 537 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 537 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 9.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 196.0
If we subtract 528 from 537, we get 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 88

Moving on to step 6:
The number 88 fits into 98 1 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1961.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 88 from 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
88 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1961.1
Deduct 88 from 100 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 88 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1961.11
Subtract 88 from 120 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1961.11 with a balance of 0.032.
